Last I heard, from Starship Combat News was that there would be a release this month, along with its own web page over on the Ravenstar site.

Since then, silence.

Anyone know?

I've been waiting a long time for this release only to watch it get pushed back over and over again.

Thanks

He just posted to SCN that there was an illness in the family and he was looking at late January or February.

I'm starting to wonder if this is a cursed line of minis. How many hands has it gone through in the last few years? :)

Tarkin16 Jan 2009 10:33 a.m. PST

several…

and it reminds me of the warzone game for curses… but that game is still played by me.

I'd like to know if there is a game their ships work in.

Tarkin, Full Thrust. Or whatever you please.

Like the minis line when it was first started, the game is generic and it was up to the individual taste of players as to where they used the minis; Strange comcept, but true.

Check out the forums at starship combat news for some great ideas for Starmada amongst others.

coolness and thanks a bunch…

Covert Walrus22 Jan 2009 2:35 p.m. PST

No trouble, Tarkin – I'm waiting on the Daisho fleet myself as a stand-in for Indonesian ships and/or USNA forces for ALIENS universe games….

Tarkin23 Jan 2009 5:46 p.m. PST

Yeah…. I have the Terran ships and the Mauridian Expeditionary Forces fleet boxes. they arte really some nice ships.

If I get froggy, I might try and cook up something for them using a d20 as the main die used.

How workable it might be is another story… but we knew that. :)

Shakespear24 Jan 2009 8:19 a.m. PST

I think they were getting stats in Squadron Strike too?

Kilkrazy25 Jan 2009 4:01 p.m. PST

I'm glad to hear there's still a chance of something happening.

I have Terrans and Mauridians and would like to expand them a bit and get a Deisho fleet.

I was on the RavenStar site and saw no mention of Cold Navy.
did it get sold again?

who sells them?

Chris just posted a few days ago on Starship Combat News, the new Ravenstar site with CN is coming up next week..

Ravenstar26 Jun 2009 7:54 p.m. PST

well i missed that , it'll be another week or two. fiishing up new models , bases and lots of other things . the web site is still being worked on . hopefully soon.

Lerchey29 Jun 2009 12:10 p.m. PST

As another FYI about what games they "work with", IIRC, my Terran ships came with stats for Starmada.

Covert Walrus29 Jun 2009 1:18 p.m. PST

Well, the Terrans have stats for FT on star ranger's site, so they cna be used for that . . . Since its possible to assemble your own stats for many games, Those games will work for those minis. Though it seems as though Ravenstar is also working on a rules set too.

The origianl Cold Navy was meant just to be cool ships that could be used in any system, so the concept is being aminatained somewhat.

Lerchey29 Jun 2009 1:33 p.m. PST

Covert W.,

Yup. I plan to use mine with FT, but since I'm running them as alien ships, will use my own stats. I think that one of the best things about most space combat games is that you can use "canon" – like the FT fleet books, or create ships as you like to fit what you want to do. Nice mix and lots of cool possibilities.

Hm. I should get my Cold Navy Terrans out of the boxes, clean them up and paint them this summer… :)

Covert Walrus08 Jul 2009 10:14 p.m. PST

Well, Lerchey, if you have a look at the SCN forums, some of the Deisho test shots are up, and what appears to be a Terran Antares Class destroyer . . . Things *are* moving, if slowly . . .
